Recommended Oil
The oil recommended for KT pumps in most
applications is KV-100 oil. KV-100 is specially
formulated to provide peak lubrication even in
arduous conditions and provide high pumping
capacity at low pressures. They are also
formulated to resist rust and oxidation. These
properties further enhance the performance and
durability of Kinney KT pumps.
See Table 7-1
for a list of recommended oils by
service type. LT oil may be required where low
temperature starting or process contamination is
encountered. Kinlube 220 may be recommended
where a fire retardant fluid is required. Halocarbo
125 is an inert fluid recommended for oxygen
service and for highly corrosive applications. S500
is a synthetic vacuum oil, and may be used when
the pump is run at elevated temperatures to avoid
contamination, or in other applications where a
petroleum-based oil is undesirable.
